Amersfoort, 20 February 2012 – Service2Media, worldwide provider of advanced app solutions for smartphones and tablets, closes an AppCenter partnership with international information technology services company Atos. As a result of this agreement, Atos will independently build and manage mobile apps for its clients on Service2Media’s App Lifecycle Platform. Atos provides this service to clients in a variety of markets and industries, both for its B2C and B2B relations.
Service2Media’s App Lifecycle Platform enables Atos to build apps for its clients in a very effective way. This platform supports the full life cycle of an app: from design up to and including technological and functional updates. Moreover it supports all mobile platforms, which makes new apps available for all mobile devices immediately. Atos enables clients to market mobile applications much quicker and thus to stimulate a positive user experience. Clients of Atos can choose from two business models: either based on project and maintenance costs or on the number of transactions.
“We are very happy that Atos decided to enter into a partnership with us and become a part of our Global Alliance Network”, says Geert Kolthof, CEO, Service2Media. “Atos especially has a lot of specific knowledge in terms of backend integration. Service2Media adds the optimisation of information for individual mobile users to the partnership. This way both parties are very much complementary.”
“Thanks to this partnership with Service2Media, we are capable of developing app portfolio’s in an efficient way and we can also maintain them”, says Rob Pols, CEO, Atos Benelux. “Moreover, Service2Media is considered as a leading player in developing platforms for mobile apps by industrial analysts like Gartner, Forrester and Ovum. We are confident that this partnership helps us to succeed in further optimising our services to clients.”
